Introduction

In the history of human being, the difference in the quality of education and research played a vital role in the socio-economic development of a country or society. Keeping in view the need of the quality education to face the challenges of globalization, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) issued a policy and provided financial support to establish Quality Enhancement Cells at the university level, particularly for public sector universities. In compliance to the regulatory requirement and realizing the need of the hour, University of Okara established Quality Enhancement Cell in 2016. It is worth to mention that the QEC focuses on the management of academic standards, quality of higher education and the other initiatives of continuous improvement through a systematic approach. The prime purpose of such a system would be to maintain and improve the level of the educational programs and other elements affecting them. The system involves in identifying the outcomes of educational programs, designing, implementing and reviewing the instruments of quality assurance such as processes and developing appropriate databases together with the means of gathering and processing information effectively. All the students and nation at large should benefit from this quality systematic. Message from the Vice-Chancellor
